Honestly I escape almost every tether lol but You can shoot the orb to destroy it; I kind of agree however that it is a little OP (especially with the "quiver" perk) when it comes to the aim assist, this is coming from a Hunter & Titan main, it's like an advanced Truth...also if anyone can confirm: when I shoot at a tether (not the orb) sometimes it breaks? Or it could just be that I ran away in time lol
